Ingredients
21 OZ / 600 G condensed milk
3.5 OZ / 100 ML heavy cream
1 TSP vanilla bean paste
17.5 OZ / 500 G puff pastry
10.5 OZ / 300 G whipped cream
Directions
Add condensed milk, heavy cream and vanilla into the mixing bowl. Close the lid and cook with the measuring cup off for 25 minutes / 219°F|104°C. Cool down the mixture.
Roll the puff pastry on a surface, transfer it to a tray with parchment paper. Bake at 180°C / 360°F for 20 minutes. Cut the mille-feuille in squares (8 cm or 3 inches).
TIP: Place another tray on top of it to give weight and prevent it from rising too much.
Place a mille-feuille square as a base, spread dulce de leche, and repeat the steps until you have 3 layers. Top it with marbled whipped cream.
